Just got an sms from sandy point with photo of someone's GPS at 44.82kts!!!!!

Just came back to the house for a cuppa and a sandwich. It's the best day we have had this year by a LOOOONG way.

Blowing wsw and 25-30 with the odd period in the low 30's. Very even wind. Not gusty at all.

Mal has some 45's and a 46. (peaks)
Spotty had a whole bunch of high 44's (that was the photo) on his 6.6m 07 Koncept!!!!
Mat could have a 30's NM which is a very brave effort!
Kato is like a machine. The Energiser bunny just goes and goes........
I only have a couple of high 42's so I am feeling a bit left out so far. High tide at the mo so it should get better later if the wind holds up which it should by the forecasts.

It should be a big list of numbers tonight - I got to Inverloch and had a good sail this morning on the short speed strip. Since then there have definitely been periods of stronger wind - Perhaps the late session on the lowering tide will load up the 2009 rankings on GPSSS. It is a happy new year!!

"very even wind" ................how good would that be

Wow what a way to kick start the year well done

Great stuff guys. I was in NSW (booooooo!) for Xmas.

Photo? Where's that sailquick?

Here you go Bonominator, this was from the late session with 2009 5.8 Koncept, earlier pic Kato sent to Hardie on his mob was the 44.82 using the 6.6 Koncept.

Ill second that. [}:)]

So all that means is I just have to add a measly 10 knots to my peak speed and Im there, easy peasy!!
